HERD RECORDS.

Animals when dry, or nearly so, received bran only as con- 

 centrated feed. By comparison with the records of last year 

 it will be noticed tht certain cows yielded less this year than then. 

 This is mostly accounted for by the difficulty in j>"etting them 

 to breed regularly which made them strippers a greater pro- 

 portion of the year than in 1897. Discussion of these data will 

 not be undertaken until more results are secured and tabulated.
